After much trial and lots of error, I finally have some videos of my process. I made a three part tutorial of my entry for the Tomie dePaola Award. This was an experiment of a style I’ve wanted to try. I’m really happy with how it turned out and can’t wait to do more like it.

Elements used in this tutorial |
For this piece, I worked in Photoshop CS6. Most of the elements in it were scanned in textures, art, and collages. I only painted a little bit of it in Photoshop.
The first video focusses on the background elements.
In the second video, I did a little painting on the pig.
In the last video, I created the swirling leaves and petals out of a background painted on canvas paper.
